It felt thoughtfully made with the right amount of everything! The service was consistently good throughout our visit. The staff was young, but they were friendly, patient, and attentive with my group. Even during busier moments, they took their time and were happy to answer questions, which really added to the overall experience. The ambiance stood out as well. It's a quaint café located in a small town, and the large windows provide a clear view of the surrounding area. The space felt cozy, calm, and inviting, which is perfect for sitting and enjoying a drink or taking a short break while exploring the area. Overall, this was a great stop and an easy place to recommend. I genuinely enjoyed my time here and would have loved to come back again before leaving, but unfortunately my friends and I didn't have the time. But if I'm ever back in town, I'd definitely make a point to return!

Love that they do a build your own sandwich, which is what we did since our kiddos are carnivores and need all meat!

But the true star of the show are the cinnamon rolls! My son who is a roll fiend calls them, "the best cinnamon rolls since Denmark". And he ate cinnamon rolls every day there so you know he loves them. I'll just say that they are almost as good as my sister in law's holiday rolls and that's high praise. They're really traditional American rolls with just the right amount of icing, warm and fresh. (Came out at 8am, but they open at 7am??). Get them.

I am obsessed with sweets but I'm picky. A good cinnamon roll or a slice of cake can cure *almost* anything, in my eyes. When they don't stand up to my expectations, I don't mean to be dramatic but the days ruined. Every single item i've tried at Sister My Sister Bake Shop, was a major hit. Cinnamon roll? perfect. Cookie? perfect. Cupcake? perfect. Brownies? perfect. Giant custom bear-head cake? drooooool. perfect. Cheesecake. gasp! & you guessed it: perfect. Lucy and her team over-deliver on everything: service, adorable and safe small town vibes, and delicious, only-on-the-mountain kind of treats.

I was ordering a cake to celebrate not only my wife's birthday but a close family's as well. We ordered the strawberry champagne flavored cake, which is one of their most popular and highly rated cakes. We had a nice dinner and were expecting this cake to be a highlight annnd it wasn't. The breading of this cake was dry and in some areas even hard. Like it was sitting out for a week and all they did was decorate it with frosting. We had about 15 guests and nobody finished their slice. At the end of the night I ended up throwing out everyone's left overs as well as the cake! It was such a disappointment. I would think spending nearly $100 on a cake would have yielded better results. I would have been better off getting a cake from the local Stater Bros or Vons bakery. I won't make this mistake again.

We had a very small and intimate wedding in December 2024 to which Jerry and the Gingerbread House were amazing to work with and gave the best service. We also had some of their goodies from the shop and those were also incredible. Thank you, Jerry! We can't wait to come back for some more sweets.

We had waited in line outdoors for most of the time. It was quite cold and windy during the wait. One place I wish they had outdoor heaters . The house is decorated on the outside just like you would imagine a gingerbread house would be, cute, adorable and delicious looking. Once you walk into the house you will find some displays of familiar candies. Maybe something you may want to get the next time you are at your convenience or grocery store. Save room for the some of the beautiful and delightful dessert that are displayed behind the acrylic shield. And don't forget something warm to drink! The drink orders once made are handed out at the window on the side of the building. We ordered quite a bit, just wanting to try everything that looked and sounded delicious. My girls enjoyed the cinnamon rolls while the pretzel, and molasses cookie were my favorite. My girls agreed with me on the cookie as well. The grandkids enjoyed their cake pop. For hot drinks, we ordered hot chocolate and hot chai. For me, it was worth the wait. I would order more molasses cookie and an extra pretzel! The customer service was friendly despite the line of people that was coming through. Great job staff! I plan to stop by this house again the next time we come to Santa's Village.

We ordered: +a slice of banana bread - this was wet and soggy, so not sure how this is even available for sale +a slice of carrot cake - this was extremely dense and decadent, and good for any carrot cake lover +an oatmeal cookie - large and had a nice crisp/chewy texture +a chive scone - super dried out and had absolutely no flavor +a hibiscus drink - super weird beverage; not sure if it was mixed with something, but it was not enjoyable +and, a milk tea - this milk tea was not prepared well; contained some pearls I was curious about their sandwiches and their pizzas, but the latter is only sold as a whole, and not by the slice. All in all, we felt that the items were misses; not worth waiting it out unless you are spending a few days in the area or are a local. Note that there's usually a line, moving along at a slow and steady pace, and they allow only 1 party in at a time. There is no seating inside, as this is strictly carry-out only. Street parking can be found in the area. +oatmeal cookie +evening hours only

This small town is adorable and one thing that absolutely blew me away was The Sugar Chalet and the extremely friendly gentleman working the front desk last Friday when we stopped in. This small sweet shop had the best looking donuts I've seen in ages and I couldn't help but order some for breakfast. I picked up a few different types from a chocolate one with cookie dough on it, an oreo style donut, and two for my wife. On top of the donuts, I grabbed a salted chocolate chip cookie as well. As someone who's enjoyed and loved donuts from Los Angeles to Amsterdam and Paris to Boston, I can safely say The Sugar Chalet might just be my favourite donut shop in the entire world. These donuts were the absolute perfect consistency in almost every way. The dough was so light and fluffy while the toppings were absolutely delicious. Overall, The Sugar Chalet is a special place. 5 stars for the gentleman working, 5 stars for the donuts and cookie, and 5 stars for every other thing about this place. I will 100% be back in the future and I already can't wait.
